1986 Map of Batesville

About this map

The White River and its major tributaries, including the Black River and Strawberry River, dominate this mid-1980s portrait of the Arkansas Ozarks fringe. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of the Ozark Mountains in the northwest to the alluvial bottomlands of the Mississippi Embayment to the southeast. Transport and commerce are defined by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and arterial routes like U.S. Highway 167, which link the regional hubs of Batesville and Newport.
